Endless Road of Corpse

"What are you talking about?" San Mao was obviously dissatisfied with the Taoist's superfluous words, and fiercely patted him on the shoulder as he shouted.

The Taoist shuddered and raised his head. His face was filled with panic as his eyes glazed over —

"The Bible... Revelation... It all came true in one fell swoop... The economic collapse, the plague, the earthquake, the plane crash... "To the end..."

"Last what?" I asked.

"The ultimate judgment. The dead were also tried. Many of the people who were sentenced, along with Satan, were thrown into the lake of fire and died the second time! "

MaggieQ interjected suddenly, in a calm tone.

At this moment, the sounds of scratching and slapping outside of the coffin suddenly stopped. The creepy moans gradually faded away, and after a series of splashing sounds, it suddenly became silent.

It was as if we had suddenly crossed from the noisy center of the city to the depths of the mountains and valleys. The coffin quieted down, leaving only our pale faces and the thumping of our hearts.

"They're gone!" It wasn't until MaggieQ whispered something that I came back to myself.

When we opened the lid and stepped out of the coffin, the living dead were nowhere to be seen, the puddles had disappeared, the monster zombies were like monsters in a closet that I had dreamt of when I was a kid. If it wasn't for the water stains on the floor, I would have thought it was just a dream.

Although MaggieQ said that the next Zombie tide would not reappear until four hours after the two ponds had been flooded, we had plenty of time to explore the exit. But it was close to the early hours of the morning, and our group was already exhausted. We didn't have much food left, and we didn't know how long we could keep up with the battery from the flashlight.

The five of us split up and searched around. Only then did I realize that there wasn't a single thing on the walls of the cave. In many places, there were all kinds of carvings of birds, beasts, and fish. After a few claps, the Daoist Priest quickly found a clue in an inconspicuous corner. He shouted and we quickly surrounded them.

"Look here …" The Taoist pointed to a rock wall in front of him.

I gave it a cursory glance, but didn't see anything different. The color was the same as the surrounding color, and there weren't any gaps.

"What's different here?" San Mao was the same as me, he even raised a finger and knocked it.

"Look at the patterns." The Daoist reminded.

When I looked carefully, I found that it was indeed as the Taoist had said. The walls of this cave were made of red soil sedimentary rock, and the entire surface was covered with twisted lines.

"Just like a brilliant tailor …" The Taoist squatted down and observed closer as he said, "When dealing with the seams of the sleeves and shoulders, I always try my best to align the patterns on the fabric, but no matter how skilled I am, it is impossible for me to be in perfect harmony."

The Daoist lowered his shoulder and growled in a low voice, then heavily crashed into the rock wall.

"Yo!" The Daoist cried out in pain, but the rock wall did not move at all.

San Mao and Mao Tou both laughed, and San Mao even teased, "Aiya, master! What kind of trouble are you thinking about?"

The Taoist frowned and rubbed his shoulder as he gasped. "That shouldn't be the case..."

I squatted down and looked. A small crack had already appeared at the place where the lines were originally dislocated. I turned my head and smiled to the Taoist. "You're right. It's just that my strength is too small …" San Mao, come and help me. "

San Mao quickly crouched down and pressed his hand against the wall with me.

"1, 2, 3!" On the count of three, the two of them simultaneously exhaled. With a sudden burst of force, the rock wall emitted two crisp cracking sounds before it slowly caved in. Afterwards, it fell down, creating a narrow hole.

"Hey!" Mao Tou shouted excitedly, "Dao Lord really has you!" After saying that, he dove into the hole.

I hastily pulled him back. "You're courting death!"

Mao Tou immediately reacted: "Oh, I know, the book says that this tomb has not been opened for a thousand years, it must be filled with dirty energy, all animals that touch it will die!"

I shook my head helplessly. "Where's your candle? Take one out."

Mao Tou took out a candle from his bag and handed it over to me. I lit the candle, then asked for Mao Tou's dagger.

We watched for a few minutes. The candle flame didn't extinguish, which meant that there was still plenty of oxygen in the cave, and the flame swayed slightly. I thought that the cave must be connected to the outside of the mountain, so there was some air circulation.

"Let's go!" I shouted, and Mao Tou went in first. I had originally wanted to let MaggieQ be the second one in, but she waved her hand, gesturing for me to go into the back of the hall, so I let the Taoist head in first. Behind me, however, I was selfish enough, wanting to get as close to MaggieQ as possible.

The cave seemed to be built very hastily, and it was extremely small. The walls of the cave were also very irregular and were filled with sharp rocks. If one was not careful, there would be a big hole, unlike what the Daoist said about the entrance and exit of the cave.

I remembered that after the construction of the tomb was completed, the ancient emperors, in order to prevent the location of the tomb from being leaked out, would lock the workers who built the tomb together inside. In order to escape, the craftsmen, while building the tomb, would also secretly build themselves a backdoor to escape from the tomb.

Just as I was thinking, the top of the tunnel was suddenly empty. A faint light fell from above, and the tunnel came to an end.

San Mao turned around and pulled me up, and I pulled MaggieQ along with me. After we stood up, I looked up and saw two perfectly straight mountain walls soaring into the sky, revealing an extremely narrow line of sky. The tunnel originally led to a crack in the mountain.

The tall and sturdy San Mao suffered a lot, and in some places, he could only lean to the side, sucking on his stomach in order to pass. However, even though he was stumbling, he did not face any danger and walked out.

At the end of the line was a valley, with mountains on both sides of it. At this time, it was sunrise, and a red sun gushed out from the valley, causing the mountains on both sides to be as red as blood.

I took out the GPS. Fortunately, there was a signal already. I checked my position and found that I was already far away from the military base. I pinpointed the location where we were parked and indicated for everyone to head that way.

After a few steps, I noticed that MaggieQ wasn't following me. I looked back and saw that she was walking in the opposite direction.

"Sigh!" I shouted, "Where are you going?"

"I want to go back!" MaggieQ said calmly.
